A porous carbon (PC) material, containing carbon and oxygen only, was synthesized via carbonisation of a Zn-MOF (IRMOF-8) at 950 degrees C. Interestingly, the derived materials of this reaction exhibit excellent electro-catalytic activity, molecular selectivity and long-term durability. The fact that this material, which is effectively a pure carbon, lacking any elemental doping, exhibits excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity suggests that a mechanism not dependent on elemental doping is being utilised. We suggest the formation of defects arising from the removal of Zn atoms as a consequence of the calcination procedure play the critical role in this process.
